Steps to Use a Condom Properly
-
Check the Packet: Verify the expiration date and seal; the packet should not be swollen, torn, or open.
-
Timing is Key: Put the condom on only when the penis is erect, right before intercourse.
-
Open Carefully: Avoid using teeth or scissors; gently tear along the edges with your fingers.
-
Pinch the Tip: Press the tip slightly to remove air, leaving space for semen.
-
Roll in the Correct Direction: Roll the condom from the tip down to the base. If it’s inside out, use a new condom.
-
Roll Completely: Ensure it reaches the base without delay and does not slip during intercourse.
-
Remove Safely: After ejaculation, remove the condom before the penis becomes soft to prevent slippage.
-
Proper Disposal: Wrap in paper and throw in the trash. Do not flush down the toilet.
Important Precautions

Use a new condom for every sexual encounter.

-
Never use two condoms at the same time.
-
Choose the correct size; store in a cool, dry place.
-
If a condom breaks or slips, remove it immediately and consider emergency contraception if needed.
